A message to all the youngens: you want a genuine, great sounding album; you have to really work for it.
I think all those metalcore bands owe some gratitude for this right here
Death metal in general owe so much to at the gates and in flames.
@@y_magaming9798 who all owe to Rorschach
I might sound like an old man, but i think we were just fine with death metal, thrush and black. All these metal core, deathcore etc, are just useless terms. There is metal, and that's it
@@nikosalexopoulos6542 idk it's helpful for people like me. If I hear someone call it ''-core'' I know it's probably not for me
@@nikosalexopoulos6542 metalcore and deathcore aren't even metal, and it sounds completely different so why is it useless? by that logic that death metal and trash metal are also useless terms because they're both metal and sound somewhat similar
A timeless album even today, Who els still listen is to this in 2021?
this album changed my life
It changed many lives. At the gates is the reason i discovered all the bands i love many years ago. melodic death metal for life
me too - first death metal band I ever heard.
Same here. While I've heard other death metal at the time, At the Gates is what really got me into Melodic Death Metal. They were game changers for sure.
definitely man I remember me and my brother first heard this album and we were barely learning the guitar back in the early 2000s so it wasn't that long ago. I mean, this album changed the way we knew the guitar...
And this, boys and girls, is how you make a masterpiece!
Great album but not a masterpiece. Listen to there album The red in the sky is ours, obscure album with lots of riffs.
@Vincent Tam that's exactly why it's not a masterpiece... It's a watered-down sterile version of its former complex genius in the red in the sky is ours
This is the Nevermind of Melodic Death Metal, unique and unreachable.
lol yeah both are really ground-breaking...
+ it pretty much changed the face of heavy music. led to metalcore and nu metal dominating.
At The Gates and Napalm Death tour 1996. It was my first metal concert when i was 16. Exact date was April 27th 1996 and in happened in my home country Slovenia in a little town called Kobjeglava.
Best memories were from that time.
Tomas Lindberg signed my birth certificate because I had nothing else on me for him to sign when I met him. I call it my Death Metal Certificate.
That's rad as hell
When I'm feeling sad as fuck, I just listen this album and The Jester Race. It makes me feel like a superhero.
@Zedrik Allen My bad!
yes. It makes me feel like I'm invincible and nothing can take me down
Dude those 2 albums and The Haunted's Made Me Do It
@@hsbr00m In Vein!!!
I met them when they opened up for Morbid Angel in Tampa on the tour for this album. They did an in store appearance at Aces Records, I still have my autographed cassette of this album. I remember they were very cool guys, very approachable. They were still pretty unknown at that time but even then this album generated a pretty good buzz. It’s cool to look back and remember I got to experience this stuff as it was happening. That was a beautiful time in heavy music…
when blinded by fear smashes into the intro.. i get fucking goosebumps EVERYTIME!
I met At the Gates on an afterparty after a reunion live to celebrate the 20th year of the album. Best guys I've met in the metal scene! Especially Tomas, I loved the guy, incredibly friendly, we spent the whole nigh talking, he wouldnt stop buying us shots and beers and telling us stories about touring, the band, other bands etc. Them and Cannibal Corpse.
Fredrik Nordstrom is a fucking legend. I had no idea who he was when I first listened to Dream Evil's "Book of Heavy Metal" album, then I realized that he had worked with pretty much all of my favorite bands. Awesome.
The documentary is the same length as the album.
I was into Nu-Metal, grunge, punk-rock etc. when I first heard this album and Made Me Do It from The Haunted. A friend lend them to me and said, "this is real metal, not that sh*t you be listening to" and boy was he right!
Really great. Thank you for posting this.
New to metal really discovered this album only recently to my shame but an at the gates riff is everything I love about metal...!!!!
One of my favorite albums still to this day!
So good to see how my favorite metal album was made! Brilliant masterpiece 🤘🏻❤️
They're releasing a new album this year
and now another
and another in 2021
It's interesting to hear the talk about the pressures of becoming more successful etc. Slaughter Of The Soul was not a massive album at the time. It wasn't viewed as a masterpiece either. I barely remember it getting any rave reviews from metal mags. Most of the ratings were around 4/5 and it wasn't topping the best of year lists either. That's not to say that people weren't impressed, but it wasn't an album that was deemed an 'instant classic' the moment it dropped. Having said that, their influence was already being felt around that time. I remember when I first heard In Flames' The Jester Race in 1996 I thought they were taking some influences from ATG, whereas their previous work sounded nothing like them to my ears.
There has been a lot of revisionism about this band, especially after the success of the so called 'metalcore' bands from America that were supposedly influenced by them, and I think it's important to keep things in perspective. Slaughter of The Soul is an excellent metal album, and by 99/2000 it was quite revered, particularly in Europe, but it wasn't some massive runaway success that blew everyone's minds in 1995. Let's be clear on that.
@Vincent Tam that's 3 years later
Don´t forget ´96/´99 wasn´t a great period for death metal. Dimmu´s, Cradle´s and the likes were turning many real underground fanatics into keyboard loving black metallers. A pity actually, because so many great albums were released back then...
I wouldn't call that revisionism. It was just american hardcore kids who discovered Swedish sound later. For me revisionism is turning stuff who was shit at the time and calling it genius nowadays. Or vice versa.
This album is my base, I keep going to it. It is a masterpiece! So many of my fave bands do them! And it’s good but more tribute.
Legendary album!
these dues are so humble for such impact they had on this kind of music. they seem like good dudes. i wanna hang out with them.
Its called a flutter with the trem bar to get that sound that Andy Leroque did in his solo. You whack the whammy bar and the resistance from the trem system/bridge makes it bounce and "flutter".
it's too bad they couldn't handle the pressure at the time.
25:00 love the cover, but dat papyrus font lmao
Timeless album.
going to see them tomorrow, fucking excited!
And, they seem like great folks =D
now this is a perfect album!!
please 1 more album!!!!!!
I'm glad that i saw them last year on Mexico City... I felt like the luckiest motherfucker in the world!! Such a great feeling to see one of my favorite bands live and everyone in the place screaming "GO!" together was just great... My favorite gig so far!!!
Metalzone! Best distortion pedal ever, in the right hands.
Andy Larocque, genuis classic metal guitarist! See also James Murphy for playing similar to what's mentioned @ 14:35..wammy.
Classic ❤️
Such a fantastic album
amazing
Over ten minutes into the documentary and you finally hear Martin speak :) He doesn't seem like a very talkative guy
the best album of all time
What about Dark Tranquillity? They still make excellent albums to this day.
i heard this on my late night metal KROCK station, wasn't into it, but I was listening to a future classic.
Carcass is making a new album and Thomas recently he wouldn't say "never" to a new ATG CD, so I think it's coming sometimes in 2013, at LEAST the announcement of it!
we want a fucking new Album from this Band !!!
yeah!!!
The guitar he uses in this documentary is in standard tuning. I'm guessing that he didn't bring a B tuned guitar and had to stick with what was available at the time.
It still sounds fresh now! Looking forward to the new album next month.
Very interesting to say the least.
I thought there were both HM-2 & Metal Zone pedal on guitars, am i wrong?
1 of the best metal albums ever. up there with reign in blood by slayer and destroy, erase improve by meshugga
What guitar are they using in the vid?
Its a Gibson Victory
1..2..3.. go go reform gooo.
we want a tour
goooo
17:54 I came to hear the riffage on Serpent Sun and the triplet pick
I didn't understand how they got the Entombed feedback (the "piuung" sound as they said)
Is everything your idea tom!
Dat solo @ 14:44.
he looks like a less athletic Peter Forsberg
true story!
Now that The Haunted is in limbo, maybe they will.
They speak English so well, also their lyrics work
why is the guitar player in a different tuning ? wtf ? i want to hear him playing those sweet riffs in drop B ! :D
the slaughter of the soul riff sounded like a maiden riff on standard tuning LOL
Its not drop B, its B standard, if you wanted to play it. Its a fun tuning.
this was fucking awesome! but.. am i the only one thinking of a Making Of: Streetcleaner? hahaha
i know that. however, when they first started the reunion tour in 2008, they said this was a one time thing... and they have been ding "reunion tours" ever since!
i know the risk of disappointing people is there, especially considering the insane expectations a new album would have. but, personally, i don't care. if they record something and it's bad... well, whatever, doesn't make slaughter of the soul bad all of the sudden (so that talk about legacy doesn't make much sense, imho).
They play in B standard.
I guess I'm the only one who liked Terminal Spirit Disease more than SOTS. Guitars were way more melodic. I had TSD and Burning Darkness on constant rotation back in the day.
I actually like it better too. But, TSD is essentially a 6 song EP with a few live tracks on the end. In a lot of ways, TSD feels like a dry run for Slaughter of the Soul to me.
I absolutely love TSD and SOTS, but no matter how hard I try, I just really can’t get into With Fear... or the Red in the Sky...
I feel like TSD was a HUGE leap forward for the band. While I prefer TSD, I feel like the sound they had developed on it was then perfected on Slaughter of the Soul to great effect.
But TSD is an underrated classic.
@@Tyrannosaurine Just seems like the guitar riffs, I can hum along to every part, like I'm still amazed they could come up with those riffs. New album is pretty good too💪
They said they won't do one. That they've changed too much. I think they should re-record the first two.
Cephalic Carnage shirt FTW
I need At The gates! Regroup and conquer! Now! Time is too short to waste on other "lame" bands that get you nowhere. The crowd always want the real.. Why waste it? I want ATG what it.. may bring.. Surprise me!
No, it's Fredrik Nordstrom. Kinda looks like Thordendal, though.
He was right, you haven't toped 'terminal spirit desease'
Tomas is a swell guy.
just saying.. isn't it strange that this documentary is exactly as long as the album? /watch?v=614OdhFLUUU
Anders listened a lot of black metal 18:14
Spinal Tap 2 (At the Gates)
yes! Exactly LOL
Soooooo, elephant in the room. Is that the guitarist of Meshuggah?
WHERE ARE THE TWINS!?
metallica had angel of death. yes.
very interesting documentary.
now, stop talking about slaughter of the soul and get to recording a new album.
They can't do any better than "Slaughter of the soul." Iäd rather have them playing live, every other year
Recorded on tape??analog equipment? It always Sounded very plastic to me. Like a metal album from now. It almost sounds like a drum machine.
martin has talked too much in my opinion
Ya he just wouldn't shut the fuck up.
"Ya,play it.", --40 minute silence.
teh fuck is up with these subtitles?
do you call this documentary! Eeeh
Am I hearing this right? he said.. Dildo?
LIKE THIS GUY HIS COMMENT NOW !
I'd rather they didn't do a new album, it just wouldn't live up to my expectations.
I hope it, and please make a Album with good old streng and not a Mainstream Bullshit al ´a IN FLAMES !!!
Producer claims "punch ins were not possible with analog" such BS lol
Fantastic album, boring documentary.
It’s so interesting hearing them reminisce so fondly about making one of the worst metal albums of the 90’s, not to mention gloss over how profoundly negative an impact it had on the genre in general.
Ok
